Safari for Windows gets more holes plugged

An updated version of the Safari 3 beta has been released to address security issues.

Apple has released a second update of its Safari 3 browser beta.

Version 3.02 of the previously Apple-only browser fixes some security issues that could potentially allow information to be gathered from users computers.

A timing issue meant that web pages could change the URL in the address bar without actually loading the page.

This could allow 'spoofing' of a legitimate site could lead users to believe their information was safe when it was really at high risk.

New versions of the Safari beta for both Windows and Mac OS x are available at Apple.
